Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1991: 523:

"What kind of trick is this!"

A person noticed the Thunder Fire Mysterious Lotus gripped in Lu Qingxuan’s hand, their face filled with shock and uncertainty, aware that it was far from commonplace.

"Wangshu!"

Lu Qingxuan glanced toward Lu Wangshu, gesturing for her to ease the pressure on Lu Lingxiao and remove him from the combat zone, since the Thunder Fire Mysterious Lotus’s activation would spare no one, ally or enemy!

Observing the scene, Lu Wangshu promptly formed hand seals with her palms, dispersing the golden radiance that confined the Bear King into vivid chains that ensnared it with fine strands.

Yet, the task proved highly demanding; though bolstered by the Profound Origin Bead, Lu Wangshu’s refined and attractive face still paled noticeably.

Lu Lingxiao mirrored her state, his visage ghostly white, mana and vital energy almost fully drained, yet he kicked off the ground and vaulted upward abruptly, creating an opening for Lu Qingxuan to intervene.

"Whoosh—"

At that sight, Lu Qingxuan rapidly sliced across the emptiness using his Thunder Fire Mysterious Lotus, propelling it straight at the Bear King. The serene deep crimson lotus platform brimmed with Nascent Soul-tier destructive energy flows, before it abruptly ballooned outward.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

A tremendous roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed fiercely.

The Thunder Fire Storm, brimming with horrifying destructive forces, enveloped the Bear King and then rampaged wildly everywhere, pulverizing sands, boulders, and vegetation in its wake.

"This... this is a Divine Skill!"

A spectator stared at Lu Qingxuan, whose complexion was ashen and mana nearly spent, in dread, identifying it as no mere technique or artifact, but a true Divine Skill!

However, only Nascent Soul Cultivators were capable of wielding Divine Skills!

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator had actually wielded a Divine Skill!

"Who is this Lu Family member, able to command a Divine Skill during the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Lu Qingxuan the Thunder Fire Qilin, legends claim he once deployed a thunder fire method to eliminate the four notorious ghost faces pursued by Azure Phoenix Immortal City, little did we know it was a Divine Skill!"

"Commanding a Divine Skill at Foundation Establishment Cultivation, once he advances to Core Formation, his prowess will be unmatched!"

Countless observing cultivators directed their gazes at the Lu Family members and Lu Qingxuan, struck with awe.

They never imagined the Lu Family possessed such a figure apart from Lu Wangshu.

Nevertheless, a few cultivators from the Qingyun Domain, who traversed the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, were familiar with Lu Qingxuan’s renown and abilities.

"Roar!!!"

The raging thunder and flames assaulted it, drawing a pained roar from the Bear King.

With the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror hovering over him, Lu Lingxiao paid no heed to the thunder fire energies saturating the atmosphere and advanced steadily toward the Bear King to finish it off.

It was clear the Bear King’s body lay in shambles, its brownish-black coat nearly entirely burned away, prior gashes torn and bloodied, and a gaping wound exposed on its torso, baring its vital organs.

Catching sight of Lu Lingxiao, the Bear King bellowed wildly and barreled toward him, its form radiating savage bloodlust.

"Boom!!!"

The duo collided with ferocious intensity, the Bear King maintaining dominance, shoving Lu Lingxiao back unsteadily, his vital forces thrown into disarray.

Yet his eyes gleamed with unyielding courage, pressing onward without retreat, his aura blazing like the dawn sun.

Amid these days of clashes within the Secret Realm, Lu Lingxiao had slowly uncovered the indomitable power of charging ahead undaunted and the strength to surmount all obstacles. Though he teetered on exhaustion now, his resolve burned fiercer than ever.

Additionally, as his severe wounds deepened and mana with vital energy waned further, he finally unlocked the hidden arts his Master had described!

A spark appeared to flare within his chest, racing through his arms, legs, and every fiber.

While his Master Hong Lian stated it required near-death desperation to grasp, she had embedded an ember in his soul.

By forcing himself to the precipice, to the peak of dire injury, this ember would ignite, sparking his enlightenment.

Lu Lingxiao now strived to awaken this Nirvana Fire within this perilous crisis!

"Sister Wang Shu?"

Lu Qingyan and Lu Linghe eyed Lu Lingxiao’s tottering shape, filled with concern and itching to rush to his aid.

"Don’t worry."

Lu Wangshu shook her head in refusal; without Lu Lingxiao’s call for help, she refrained from deploying Third Rank Talismans or Third Rank Puppets.

At her side, Lu Chensha steadied the utterly spent Lu Qingxuan and then quietly released his [Black Erosion Poison Insect].

He had held back his spirit beasts or insects earlier for one clear reason.

In confrontations of this magnitude, whether the Thousand Legged Centipede or the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider, deploying them would only lead to pointless loss.

Regarding poison insects, though potent, amid the barrage of techniques—especially Lu Lingxiao and Lu Qingxuan’s—his insects would perish, achieving nothing.

But at present, with the Bear King’s bodily barriers utterly shattered by the Thunder Fire Mysterious Lotus, he could allow the insects to seep into its ravaged flesh.

As the Lu Family disciples progressively seized the advantage, inflicting grave harm upon it.

Only Lu Lingxiao directly challenged the Third Rank Demon King, his protective gear in fragments and qi-blood mana dimming, leaving observers perplexed, unable to grasp the Young City Lord’s purpose.

If he kept battling on, depletion and demise at the Bear King’s claws seemed inevitable.

After all, his prior nonstop fights had drained him immensely; even with restorative elixirs, sustaining against a Third Rank Demon King proved impossible.

"What is he trying to do?"

"Could it be a challenge imposed on this Young City Lord by the Dream City Master? He has to vanquish this Third Rank Demon King!"

"But in this manner, even if he slays the Bear King, he’ll exhaust his essence and perish as well."

"Yes, even if he survives, it would undermine his foundation!"

At this juncture, the audience witnessed Lu Lingxiao’s growing frailty and multiple close calls, nearly shredded by the Bear King, their minds swirling with bewilderment and marvel.

"Don’t forget, the Dream City Master is certainly observing, and his parents possess supreme elixirs and spirit medicines. Unlike ordinary folk like us, he need not fret over foundational harm."

Some commented coolly, realizing this Secret Realm was orchestrated by Great Dream Immortal City for Lu Lingxiao’s benefit, with the rest merely as supporting cast, forever within Great Dream Immortal City’s grasp.
